I have no idea where. Made a lot of mods and the situation where I needed something like this never came up.

Hi i,
I don't recognize them.
The shape of the 'un-rusted' area might be a clue as to how/what it mounted to, but doesn't help in my case.
Regards,
Alan

Yup, they were tightly bolted to something. If you can't identify them they probably were in the pile from something else. It's just that they look so purposeful.

Hi i,
Yes that's the puzzle….. they DO look purposeful…they don't just look like screen-door parts that got mixed into Corvette parts.
They look like they hold something in place by clamping (like the battery gb mentions)…. but I don't know what on a 69.

Hmm..doesn't resemble anything on mine, but apparently whatever they were designed to hold was held upright?

Damn, don't look familiar to me and I had my car pretty much apart. Almost look like distributor hold down parts but doubt if there be 2 of them.

I don't have another car that I've taken apart and they were in my leftover parts box. Also I didn't have any aftermarket parts of any significance before I stripped it down. Given the mild rust and the cleanliness of whatever it was bolted to, I thought maybe it came from the inside of the door. I thumbed through the AIM and nothing caught my eye.
Thanks all for looking!
